Keep CoRSU OPEN!

CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital located in Kisubi is the only hospital of its kind in Uganda. CoRSU provides orthopaedic, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and comprehensive rehabilitation services on a highly subsidized basis. The life-changing work done at CoRSU improves patients’ quality of life and allows for their full integration into society.

Established in 2006, CoRSU is a private, non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO). The hospital receives no funding from the Ugandan government. Half of CoRSU’s funding, which allows for highly-subsidized patient services, is generated externally through donations from international NGOs.

People with disabilities, mostly children with debilitating conditions, are most of the patients at CoRSU. The hospital has performed over 32,000 surgeries and 64,000 rehabilitation sessions to treat conditions such as club foot, cleft palate, gluteal fibrosis, and acute burns. CoRSU proudly employs over 150 staff including physicians, nurses, orthopaedic technicians, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. All employees are highly committed and passionate about serving people with disability.

CoRSU needs YOUR help!

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, CoRSU faces an urgent financial crisis and quick action is needed to save the hospital.

- Funding from external sources (NGOs) will be cut drastically.

- Since Uganda went on lock-down due to COVID-19 in March, the hospital has been operating at a substantially reduced capacity which has decreased funds generated from patients' fees by about 90%. COVID 19 has economically affected the people with disability and they might not be able to afford CoRSU services hence we kindly request you donate to subsidize treatment.

- In addition, operating costs have increased (due to the need for personal protective equipment and increased pricing for drugs and other medical supplies.
